Well this is very interesting At the start of the script they have root_password="$1" host="localhost" user="root"
I added in just below the above echo "----------------------------------------------------------" echo $root_password echo "----------------------------------------------------------" Then if you try sh mysql_fix_privilege_tables -p somepassword Guess what you get... ---------------------------------------------------------- -p somepassword ---------------------------------------------------------- So it seems the script takes the whole argument... sh mysql_fix_privilege_tables my_root_pass Works fine Is this standard behavior? The Script says echo "If you get 'Access denied' errors, you should run this script again" echo "and give the MySQL root user password as an argument!" Does not really tell you there is some special way to do it. What is the heck is $1 anyway? And why is it a literally quoted value? ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
